STACKED’s take
Smith-Njigba's 23.5-point breakout and elite catch radius offer high upside despite TE position volatility.
Smith-Njigba produced a breakout game in Week 3 loss to the Lions, catching seven of eight targets for 105 yards and a touchdown (23.5 fantasy points). While he can run the traditional tight end route tree finding space underneath or as an outlet for Geno Smith, the source emphasizes adding him this week (54.9% rostered) because of the big-play juice he brings. He's a natural seam stretcher with speed, body control, and elite catch radius (6-foot-3, 241-pound frame), evidenced by his 24-yard touchdown grab and 43-yard reception on a deep over route from flexed alignment. While he may not be a weekly starter yet in 10-team leagues, the source sees far too much upside to pass him up given tight end volatility.
